Love that third to last shot, something about it pleases my eye. Not that any of them are bad!

The green Jack looks very good.

I thought that too... Is that a new cab-back among the other mods, or the original? I've never really liked the mostly-open look RH use for Billy and others... Not that I'd say no to a Billy mind you...

Lovely photos, thanks for posting them.

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, the Jack has turned out really nice.
This is what it looked like a year ago:

It's the painted wheels that make it that way...
